Remember that Dinosaur Planet Animated Series post from last year? Surprise! It's really happening. Max, the director/actor/organizer of the project, contacted me just now with news that they will be premiering their trailer live on their Twitch channel tomorrow, on Saturday, August 20th, at 10AM Pacific (1PM Eastern). After the trailer, the cast and crew will be answering questions live. I'll be there to check it out. I hope you guys can come too.

It's time for a shiny new Krystal commission. This is by Manic-Bunny, a very talented artist. I told her to make an "action pose" and to "try an alternate outfit." She delivered! Check out her post on DeviantArt, and her gallery. As always, you can download the high quality full resolution image too!

On August 3rd, 2006, Star Fox Command was released in Japan (the US release date was August 28rd, 2006; and Europe would get it in January 2007). Our cosplay friend Ayano has done a commemorative photoshoot for the occasion. There are several awesome shots here! We have Assault Krystal meets Command Krystal, Krystal's gatling gun upgrade with new lighting, and a real life pose from an Assault Promo image.

Most of these images come from Ayano's Twitter Feed (subscribe to her!), with a couple shots coming from ミチヨシ @rinri1310.

Zyn contacted me with some progress shots of the base sculpt. This is prior to most of the details being added, but you can see from the initial diagram that she will gain additional details for the clothes, armor, facial features, etc. Zyn tells me that she will model the clothing separately, so those who want an Assault or Command variation, she will be able to accommodate you. She is also planning an optional base for standing stability.

More progress updates should be coming in August!

Ayano sent me this short video of her recently upgraded Staff. It now lights up with magical goodness. The Staff was damaged at Further Confusion 2016, but she took this problem and turned it into an opportunity to upgrade the Staff. She plans to make a longer demonstration video in the future.

Download the original video.

This is the last Ayano update for a bit!

Ayano poses with other Kigurumi cosplayers and friends with her Assault suit, then goes indoors with her bikini summer suit.

Adding to the photos here, Ayano sends in her direct photos from Wonder Festival 2016, where she premiered her Star Fox Command suit, bringing along the gatling gun she had created earlier.

Ayano sent in her photos from Further Confusion to add to the ones already posted here, here, here, and here. In the next couple days, I will also be posting her photos from Wonder Festival and a kigurumi meetup at her friend's house.

Hello friends! I have just completed a huge set of changes that, if everything worked correctly, no-one should notice. My server was almost full of files, most of the space taken up by the huge 1080p videos of cutscenes. Before new content could be added, I had to move the large files to cloud based storage. This move is done. Now, in addition to my traditional hosting bill ($15-16 per month), I will also be paying a few cents for every gigabyte stored or transferred. So please don't download things over and over!

Part of this change means that all large download files (videos, audio, podcasts, etc.) will now be served over secure HTTPS! Whenever you view a podcast download, for example, you should see it coming from an HTTPS address, so you can have more confidence that these files are not being intercepted or modified on the way to you. In the coming months, I plan to move the entire Krystal Archive itself to secure HTTPS. For now, though, if you run into any problems with obtaining download files from the site, please let me know.

During this whole process, I also found and corrected several issues. Here's a summary of the changes:

• Added the LaffetheFox's Krystal Theme from the Bit Fox Adventures album to the Krystal Music page. It had been uploaded, but never listed (whoops!).
• Added downloads for Rhyfe2002's rig, which had been uploaded, but never posted about (whoops again!).
• I had never posted the local mirror of the 3rd Star Fox: Event Horizon demo when I posted about it, but I did upload the file (whoops a third time!). However, you should probably use the more up-to-date 4th demo if you want to try the game out. Sadly, UndyingNephalim has placed the game on the back burner for the foreseeable future. Out of date downloads removed. Check the Star Fox: Event Horizon Page for the latest version download.
• You might remember the Fox to Krystal HD videos I posted about last year. While I did update the Adventures Video page with updated download links to the HD versions, I never posted links to the downloads for the Fox-to-Krystal glitch videos, until now.
• Fixed one misnamed file.
• Moved the spiral tattoo SVG to a better location.
• Cleaned out some unused files that had been used for testing or had been replaced.

CakeInferno (formerly Greyfirefox) has recently created a new Krystal render. Lovely, isn't it? This version is from the 1080p resolution, but subscribers to CakeInferno's Patreon can get the 4K download.
